Abstract:
Urinary samples overnight collected from 550 pediatric patients with normal urine analysis and normal serum levels of creatinine, urea and glucose were tested for the presence of microalbuminuria by a latex test. Only 3 cases (0.6%) were positive even with RIA method; the difference with the percentage observed in adults (4.5%) is highly significant.
